    any advice
  • Why dont you call them and find out? Generally 7-10 days but if you call them they will give you an answer over the phone, a much more accurate one that a stranger on a forum could.

    I got a Lloyds TSB Platinum card in a branch last week (had to go in to get currency and this is the emergency back up holiday money).

    They gave me an answer at the time, PIN arrived two days later, card arrived four days later.

    Not the same bank as the OP, obviously, but just an example of how it could work.
